Valuing a Ticket Stub?

[jethrod3]

I don't think you mentioned the condition as you perceive it. I agree that if it's a one-of-a-kind ticket (as far as you know) it might be difficult to price (it will bring whatever someone is willing to pay for it at auction, LOL!!). But if it's in pretty bad condition, I'd recommend sending it to third-party graders that don't have a registry and aren't as prone to upcharge for simply authenticating. Then at least you will have your one-of-a-kind ticket slabbed for whatever you decide to do!

Yea, I am not entirely sure of how to grade these - but it looks nice enough to grade IMO

Based on my own experience with tickets and third-party graders, I'd say that given the staining, corner wear and uneven tear it's probably going to be around a 4. Worth grading and definitely indicate how you want them to label the slab about the unique accomplishment.

Probably 2/3 or so with PSA. Maybe higher with Beckett as they are not as critical.

Well you would be dead wrong.

Well, he didn't hang on to it too long for one reason or another, which is fine of course. Sold for lower than I expected, so probably good it wasn't sent out for grading.

I actually held for a LONG TIME considering most things I get, but I do more buying/selling than accumulating (unless its a GA/SA comic book)

If I started the auction when I asked the initial question, I would have been disappointed but after having it up on eBay and fielding the offers I received, I'm pleased - ended up like $10 higher than anticipated ($250 was the best offer I received, in addition to a good bit under $100). Was a cool piece for sure, and I'm sure the new owner will make a profit when they sell (and I did pretty well considering my buy-in)
